Quick answer: Lansdowne on the Potomac was built mostly from the late 1990s through the 2000s, so its emergencies come from aging equipment and connections: water heaters, pressure reducing valves, supply hoses and sump pumps, rather than old pipe.
Lansdowne sits between Leesburg and Ashburn along Route 7, with single-family homes, a large share of townhomes, and condo buildings around Lansdowne Town Center. Most homes were built in a fairly short window, which means a lot of the same builder-grade equipment is now the same age. The emergencies we see most in Lansdowne are:
Because so many Lansdowne basements are finished, a small leak there costs more than it would in an unfinished space. Carpet, drywall and built-ins soak up water quickly, so the faster the water is off, the smaller the repair bill.
Quick answer: Close the main shutoff, usually on the basement wall where the line enters the house, next to the pressure reducing valve. In townhomes and condos, check the lowest-level utility closet. Then cut power to wet areas and call.
Most Lansdowne homes have a quarter-turn ball valve on the main, which closes easily. If you’re in a condo building, your unit may have its own shutoff in a closet near the water heater, and the building has a shutoff the association controls.
Close the main, or the fixture valve if only one toilet, sink or appliance is leaking. Open a low faucet afterwards to relieve pressure in the lines.
Switch off breakers for wet areas only from dry ground. If a water heater is leaking, turn off its breaker or set the gas control to off.
Call (703) 794-5592 and tell us what’s leaking, whether the water is off, and whether it’s clean water or sewage.
Loudoun Water’s pipe protection tips show how to find and test the main shutoff. Lansdowne is in Loudoun Water’s service area, so a problem at the meter or in the street is theirs to fix.
Quick answer: A water heater leaking from the tank needs replacing. A relief valve dripping or discharging is often a pressure problem, from a failed pressure reducing valve or expansion tank, not a bad heater.
Loudoun Water’s water quality reports explain that minerals in the water can leave scale. Over a decade, that scale builds up inside tank water heaters and shortens their life. When a Lansdowne tank fails, the question we usually ask is whether the pressure reducing valve and expansion tank are doing their jobs too, because a failed valve can quietly push house pressure above 80 psi. That pressure makes relief valves weep, toilets run and supply lines fail early. We check pressure with a gauge on emergency water heater calls. A replacement generally needs a permit through Loudoun County Building and Development, which we handle.
Shut off the water and call Stoney’s Plumbing, day or night.
Quick answer: If water is coming through a ceiling, check whether it’s from your unit or the one above. Close your main, tell your neighbor and the association, and call. Shared walls mean one leak can affect several homes.
Stacked units and townhome rows make leak hunting harder. Water travels along joists and pipes before it shows up, so the stain is rarely right under the source. Bathrooms and laundry rooms above the ceiling are the usual suspects. If you rent, call your landlord or property manager too. If the association manages a common pipe or the building main, they need to know right away, because they may have to shut off the water to several units. Keep photos of the damage for insurance before you start cleaning up.
Quick answer: Backups in a basement shower or floor drain usually point to a clogged main drain or lateral. Lansdowne’s PVC sewer lines clog more from wipes and grease than roots. Sump pump failures during storms are the other big basement risk.
Stop running water when a floor drain or lower toilet backs up, and call. We clear the line from the cleanout and camera-inspect it if the backup keeps coming back. Our sewer line guide explains where homeowner responsibility ends and Loudoun Water’s begins. For storm flooding, Ready.gov’s flood safety guidance covers what to do before you go into a wet basement. Test your sump pump each spring by pouring a bucket of water into the pit, and consider a battery backup if power outages are common on your street.

Often because house pressure is too high or the expansion tank has failed. It can also be a worn relief valve. Either way, it should be checked, because relief valves exist to prevent a dangerous pressure build-up.
